2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup salted butter (softened)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3 cups sliced apples
1/2 cup salted caramel sauce
1 tsp cinnamon
Salt, to taste
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13 inch baking dish with parchment paper and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, and salt. Add the softened butter and mix until crumbly. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Bake your crust in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes or until lightly golden brown.
In another bowl, mix the sliced apples with granulated sugar, cinnamon, and a little lemon juice to prevent browning. Toss until the apples are well-coated.
Remove the crust from the oven. Layer the apple mixture evenly over the crust and drizzle with half of the salted caramel sauce.
Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the apples are soft and bubbly.
Allow the bars to cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes. Once cooled, drizzle the remaining salted caramel sauce on top, and sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt, if desired.
Slice into bars, serve warm or chill before serving. Enjoy this decadent treat!
